Snubbed!

Gerald McCoy and Darrelle Revis made the Pro Bowl; Lavonte David did not.

Another disappointing day for Bucs fans. Gerald McCoy and Darrelle Revis made the Pro Bowl, but Lavonte David got hosed.

Despite setting a record for linebackers with six sacks and five interceptions, David will stay home and watch on TV. Jimminy Christmas! David is second in the NFL among outside linebackers with 101 solo tackles. What the hell more was the guy supposed to do?

Here are the outside linebackers that beat him out in the NFL’s new format:

There are no real words for this. The silver lining…David came back harder this year after being snubbed last year too. I really don’t know what more he could do…which is fantastic to be saying about a 2nd year player.

The names of outside linebackers who made it to the Pro Bowl sound like it is a popularity contest with some former honored players thrown in. David will eventually get this honor, but should have already. He is all over the field on gameday.

How fans are clueless of opposing teams: dude at the gym huge NIners fan and we talk football. Has no idea who Lavonte was until he came accross as and I quote”guy that lost the game in week 1″.

It’s the way it’s always worked. Revis got in due to his popularity and past play. He wasn’t anywhere near a top flight cb this year.
Sherman hands down is the best cb in football. (Sucks to be Seattle seeing Revis deal)

Just have to win… Bucs players in the past have benefited from the popularity contests. Hell Rhonde almost got in last year and he was not having a pro bowl season. Just have to win.
when does the all-pro team get announced?

Anyone says we have to win is BS. Dam browns have 4(5?) Players going to the pro bowl. Winning helps but really?? Going for a 3 -4 scheme hurts David and other LBs for go against DE/LBs. Flawed system and flawed selection. If any coach or player actually looks at David’s videos performance they for sure would want him in their team or wish they something close to him.

Also eff keuchly, he got away with back to back non called holdings. That effer got away with a HUGE call.

The hell with pro bowl and the hell with coaches and players that over looked him. It’s not important to me,but David deserves respect and honors from his fellow NFL players not just from the bucs

Very disappointed for arguably our best player. The other “OLB’s” who were selected are really more used as pass rushers, not OLB’s the way LVD plays the position. In the NFC, it looks like it was when in doubt, pick a 49er or Seahawk. Just shows how our talent level is viewed by the public.

The Pro Bowl is lame anyway. Have not watched it in years. Players giving half effort joking around on the field while the network shows stock footage of Hawaii scenery. Snooze Fest. I do feel bad for David though not being recognized. He had a heck of a season.

I live in NY (state…NOT city), and I can tell you it’s probably a case of clueless fans only knowing LVD’s name because of a questionable call against the Jets. Much like the typical NY fan hates Schiano and thinks he’s ‘Bush league’ (cue the Shiano haters on the site for the ensuing pile on) not because of two losing seasons or poor second half adjustments, but because he blew up the Giants victory formation two years ago knocking Eli on his butt (they still cry about that play up here!) It’s no wonder that a guy who’s been playing as great as LVD has gets snubbed by idiot fans when all they vote on is name recognition.
